Training to Class 5 Basic (GDL) and Advance

Graduated driver licensing (GDL)

All our learner drivers, regardless of their age, take part in our Graduated Driver Learning programme. After years of teaching we have learned that this is the best way to make sure that all new drivers receive the support and learn the skills necessary to become safe and accomplished drivers.

The great advantage of the GDL programme is that learner drivers get the driving experience they need in a safe, controlled practice environment. This ensures that all new drivers are both competent and confident before they take the test and go on to drive unaccompanied and in hazardous conditions.

Our GDL programme is divided into two parts:
  • Stage One: Class 7 – after which you will receive your Learner’s Operator’s Licence
  • Stage Two: Class 5 GDL – after which you will qualify for your Probationary Licence
  • There are some pre-qualifying conditions before you can enroll in either course:
